    I think it was my senior year in college; a freshman showed up, a superb hockey player, a tall skinny fellow, the adoptive child of a Royal Canadian Air Force couple. He was about the color of a really weak cup of coffee if you forgot twice that you had already added extra cream; his handful of freckles showed easily on his skin. But his features were pretty classic-- broad flat nose, thick lips and nappy hair-- you wouldn't have put money on his "passing" a one-drop test.

    He was outraged when the Black Students union included him in their invitations to join; not in terms of "I've lived in a white family in a white town playing a white sport my whole life, never even known a black person. I have no common experience with you"-- which would have been a fairly reasonable response. But his was more along the lines of "no gentleman would ever suggest such a thing about anyone"-- he was pretty seriously racist against the very genotype that was visible in his mirror.

    It shouldn't be surprising that what are after all, in some sense success stories-- black children who have been raised with all the advantages the country can provide-- adopt the same evils as those they were raised as part of. .. You are what you see or something like that.

    I made it one minute exactly. And I was actually scrolling down the page and not actually watching.

    Hell no. Those two are cutting into her market share. There's only so much money out there for black women who are willing to say this stuff on camara.

    Watched it all. She's noticeably unfamiliar with the diction she's using- the conservatives who give her money didn't get their money's worth.

    Her grandfather's story isn't unique, and it's not particularly American. She's right about one thing, tho- if she continues to spit on the graves of people who did as much or more work than her grandfather and were never rewarded because of the color of their skin, she'll never be recognized as Black. These have always been ways to ingratiate yourself with an oppressor, and I suspect her grandpa did just that whenever he felt it would benefit him. I had to chuckle at her derisive use of the word "victim", as though we're not.

    Coons are everywhere, nothing really new. And she's being paid by some political indoctrination service (Prager is NOT a real university) to spread nonsense.

    I just don't understand why she didn't include President Obama, MLK, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, etc. in her little rant.

    He wouldn't marry her, of course, but she probably serves as a bellywarmer...

    Y'all should try this one. It's nearly 9 minutes, and it's a college senior telling people of color that they are not oppressed.



    I thought it was satire when I first came across it...

    I couldn't finish this one. As soon as someone starts talking about "social justice warriors" in a non-ironic way, I'm out.

    That might've been what clued me in that it wasn't satire.

    Oh, and @superdave ... Top that.

    On second thought ...

    Dude, we already had to suffer through the first one, and you add an additional 9 minutes. I'm filing a claim in International Criminal Courts against you.

    This meme does not refer to colored people. It is general.

    Ernst Jünger wrote: "Where liberalism reaches its limits, it opens the door for the murderers. That's the law!"

    If you dont say amen to mass immigration you are racist. Thats just insane.

    Yup.

    Immigrants are orcs. Disgusting, violent monsters out to destroy.

    No racist though. And liberals need to stop using that word for everything.
